Hmmm, I might be.  There has mysteriously appeared a local hypersparc
module (probably out of our local surplus here, but one that I missed)
that MAY have come from a VME crate.  I saw it in the surplus feeding
frenzy pit a couple of weeks back, but no price was on it at the time.
It was a 630mp tower with big letters ``HYPERSPARC'' stencilled on it.
IFF that is, indeed, where it came from, and I can trace the local
surplus geeks that might have the remaining board, perhaps I can track
down the associated roms.  IFF that is the case (I know a long shot,
for sure, but worth trying), I would be happy to lend them for the
group updating.  I emailed the geeks in question, so, keeping fingers
crossed.....
